Should I Increase Dosage Of My Birth Control To Regularize Periods?
My cycle dropped down to 26 days and I've started back up on my birth control microgestin fe 1/20 recently and I've been spotting which isn't normal for me. My question is will upping my dosage possibly help with the spotting? Or do I just need to wait it out?

Hi,
Missing pills can be one of the cause for your spotting. Dosage increase is not usually recommended in such cases.
